Fallen Wolf

Chapter 16 - New Leaf

Chapter 16 - New Leaf

Delilah shivered against Zach's body as he carried her back to the pack house. He tightened his hold around her and she burrowed her face in his neck. He carried her up to the room and laid her down on the bed.

She had fallen asleep by the time he reached the bedroom, he carefully pushed her hair away from her hair so she wouldn't awaken and gently traced his knuckles down her cheek.

As he did this he saw the bruise from her cheek fading. He pulled his hand away surprised and saw the bruise on her forehead fade too. He looked down at her and saw the crystal around her neck glowing. The glow in the crystal slowly spread over her and enveloped her in warmth. And slowly all her bruises started to heal.

Zach watched thunderstruck. He didn't know how this was happening, was the crystal magical? Or did it only work for her because she was a fallen angel?

He gently lifted her palm and checked her wound; it was completely healed except for a small thin scar that ran along her palm.

Zach gently placed her hand back on the bed and tucked the covers around her shoulder. He bent and kissed her forehead and rested his lips there and just sighed, loving the feeling of her. He lifted his head looked at her again and left the room.

He sat down in his library with a glass of scotch and mind linked his beta. Two minutes later Jason knocked on the door.

"Come in" Zach ordered and placed his scotch on the table and leaned back.

"We haven't had any problems with rogues today Alpha. But this doesn't seem right, the woods seem too quiet. It's like they are waiting for the perfect time." Jason said.

"Yes. I think so too, I don't want to lessen the border patrol just because we haven't had a rogue attack in a few days, that's what they are expecting. We need to keep a watch out for anything that doesn't seem normal." Zach said. He wasn't ready to risk anyone's life, mainly when he had just found his mate. He couldn't risk her.

He might seem selfish, but without her there was no him. And if anything happened to her he wouldn't go quietly from this world. He would wreak havoc in the whole city and his pack wouldn't be able to stop him, his vengeance would be much greater than ever. He had to keep her safe.

Delilah woke up with a jolt and sat up in the bed. She looked around panicked and realized where she was. She sighed with relief and rubbed her hands over her face. She suddenly and pulled her hand back and looked down at it and realized her injury was missing.

She immediately got up from bed and walked into the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She had no injury in the body everything had healed. The almighty had not completely abandoned her, she wrapped her hand around the crystal around her neck and sent up a prayer.

She couldn't wallow in self-pity, she didn't want to. The most high had taught her better than that. She decided, she was going to stay here forever so she was going to make the most of it. She was going to act like a Luna and make the household like an actual house.

She smiled happy with herself, and decided she was going to start her work today. She immediately brushed her teeth and showered and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. She opened her closet and pulled out a red skirt and a white camisole. She was going to wear something comfortable if she was going to get any work done.

She chirpily dressed up and literally skipped out the door humming. She walked into the living room and started jotting down the changes she had to make. She looked at the dull brown drapes over the huge windows and decided she had to change them immediately.
